THE WASHINGTON POST DOES NOT DOUBT IMPORTANCE OF TEACHING ABOUT ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
17:15, 3 February, 2014
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 3, ARMENPRESS. The Washington Post's editorial board,
in its first post Graham-family editorial on the Armenian Genocide, has
retreated from its shameful record of opposing the proper recognition
of this crime. As reports "Armenpress", the Armenian National Committee
of America stated this citing the recent publication of the newspaper.
In this respect the Armenian National Committee of America made
the following note in its facebook page: "Today's editorial, while
clearly misguided in its specific criticisms of ANCA's far-reaching
and constructive role in encouraging genocide-prevention education
in American public schools, does, to its credit, both openly and
unambiguously cite the Armenian Genocide and also underscore the
importance of "teaching about the Armenian genocide that began
in 1915."
Among other things the periodical stated: "In Virginia, as The Post's
Laura Vozzella reported, legislators are working on a resolution
instructing the education department to buy textbooks that challenge
the name of the Sea of Japan, which many Koreans believe should be
called the East Sea. Newly installed Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) finds
himself in a pickle. On the campaign trail he promised to support
such a change, but he has now discovered that Japan -- whose companies
are big investors in the commonwealth -- is unhappy about the idea.
In addition the American periodical underscored: "We're not doubting
the importance of teaching about the Armenian genocide that began
in 1915."
